Group therapy is a wonderful way to gain insight and consider other
possibilities. Working in a group allows for sharing, feedback and
developing connections with others. Group members have the opportunity to
observe how others resolve problems, experiment with avenues for positive
change, practice new behaviors and strategies and receive feedback within
a safe, supportive setting.
"I never thought I would feel comfortable with the group experience
because I have difficulty sharing thoughts and feelings with others. But
this group is different. Participants have made me feel safe and welcomed
at a time when I needed it most. I would highly recommend participation in
this group or others." Melinda
"I appreciate your ability to
guide and support us in our individual journeys. Your warm and energetic
style creates an atmosphere where we feel able to support and build
connections with each other." Maria

WHEN FOOD IS LOVE
Food is necessary to sustain life. Yet sometimes the hunger we feel is not
for food, but to fill the emotional void
Do you turn to food to make you feel better? Yet, do you fight eating too
much? This group program, will focus on, this struggle and offer ways to
allow food to nourish you instead of hurt you.. The purpose of this
program is for you to learn how to express feelings instead of swallowing
them and to break free of self-destructive eating patterns. We will be
focusing on such issues as the diet cycle, binging and compulsive eating,
addictive behaviors, difficulties with intimacy, feelings of being out of
control and more. Readings from. the books. When Women Stop Hating Their
Bodies by Jane Hirschmann and Carol. Munter and Eating By the Light of the
Moon by Atlita Johnsott and When Food Is Love and When You Eat at the
Refrigerator, Pull Up a Chair by Geneen Roth will also be discussed.
Participants will learn how to create realistic food programs, develop
tools
for managing eating, identify and understand feelings so they are not
stuffed and hidden. A. group is a wonderful way to learn from others'
experiences and receive feedback and support. Dr. Joffe utilizes in a
group context various energy therapy approaches, such as emotional freedom
technique (EFT) and neuro emotional techniques (NET).
To be eligible for this group, you can have experience with bulimia,
anorexia, compulsive overeating, obesity or just believe that your concerns with food are too
central in your life.

Boundaries without Battles
A workshop
for mothers and adolescent daughters.
This one day workshop will foster connection between mothers and
daughters, ages 12 - 15 years old, by challenging the myth that adolescent
transition is problematic. Using the "Mother-Daughter Project" as a model,
this program will provide mothers ways to promote independence, offer
guidance, and maintain loving relationship. Daughters will explore such
issues as self-image, physical changes, and peer relationships. Mastering
the skill of utilizing their mother's wisdom while communicating positively
and keeping boundaries will be a focus for them.
With love, new depths of feeling and
connection are reached by developing a better understanding of each other's
emotional and biological cycles.
